As You Enjoy the Last Few Days of Summer Here’s a Rude Reminder of What’s Coming

I was innocently scrolling my Instagram feed, double-tapping photos of puppies and food, when I was virtually slapped in the face with a super rude photo.

Instagram user @iron_horse_explorations is known for fascinating photos of abandoned buildings and railroads, cool graffiti, and other urban settings around Maine and New England.

For comparison, here's what this spot on Commercial Street in Portland looks like without snow and cold and misery. Enjoy the clear sidewalks and unlimited visibility while you can, because in the words of John Snow, "Winter is coming."
